Description
Red fox (vulpes vulpes, liska obecna) from Pasíčka, station for animals, who are handicaped or who simply can not survive in the wild; Czech republic
NEWEST PHOTO -----> ADORABLE BABY WOLVES!
Story of the photo: this fox has only one eye. It was found in the forest. Expersts say that some myslivci probably used this fox to train their dogs, although it is illegal. One-eyed fox fortunately has a nice home and lovely care now... It lives in a big cage with two other saved red foxes, they have some grass and tree trunks there, comfortable looking boxes to hide and very tasty looking meat. When I saw them, fur of all three foxes was literally shining and foxes seemed very relaxed. I was very satisfied when I saw their living conditions. I bet they have nice lives now
EDIT: I am NOT the one who blame the myslivci! EXPERTS from the station say that. The fox has also NO teeth and there are probably more indications, that myslivci did this to the fox. But stop flaming me for just publishing the opinion of the experts
also, people, who think they can surely know "how it really happened" are arrogant - it is so stupid that they think they know everything just through looking at the photo. Experts know this fox in person, they saved her and treat her - they simply DO KNOW BETTER. Deal with that.EDIT NO.2: HONESTLY, PEOPLE - SPEAKING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MAKES YOU LOOK A BIT STUPID
SITTING IN USA, CANADA, FINLAND OR AUSTRALIA, YOU CAN HARDLY KNOW, WHO MYSLIVCI ARE. SO BETTER NOT SPEAK ABOUT THEM. COMMENTING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW IS A BIT EMBARRASING FOR YOU about ,,IT WAS NOT INJURED BY DOGS, AS NO INJURIES ARE VISIBLE" - I saw a baby fox few days ago, who was brought by myslivci THEMSELVES, and they THEMSELVES said that their dog hunted and injured the fox kit. Fox was injured only few hours ago. And still I had to hold the baby in my arms to be able to touch and feel the injuries. They were all hidden under her SUMMER fur, so no photos show them. Fox in the picture is in her FLUFFY WINTER FUR. So your theory ,,myslivci's dogs did not do it, because no scars are visible" is very naive, as fluffy fur could hide EVERYTHIG.
So again, better not comment, because you know nothing about myslivci

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Red fox (vulpes vulpes)
Location: red fox is native to North America, whole Europe, whole Asia, north Africa and it was introduced to Australia
Size: 100 cm long body + 45 cm long tail, 40 cm high weight: 12 kg

Conservation status: Least Concern (the most common carnivora)
Interesting facts: red fox can hide its food to find it later | usually five cubs are born blind and helpless in the burrow | foxes have many colour variations: usually – ginger-red, but also black or silver, Unfortunately, red fox is kept by fur farms and some ----- torture them just to gain their fur. Red foxes are also hunted by so called ,,sportmen“ | red foxes suffer from rabies | red fox is considered to be vermit | red foxes produce pretty weird sounds XD | foxes in the wild live only some 4 years, but they can reach 12 years in captivity
Enemies: golden eagles, gray wolves, cougars, lynxes, coyotes, badgers, wolverines
Legend: foxes play important role in many myths and legend. Due their inteligence, they have become symbol of slyness and cunning. They are also very popular animals, who have role in many fairy tales. In the Czech republic, author Rudolf Tesnohlidek wrote very famous book about very clever hand-rised vixen called Bystrouska. I loved that book and also it funny happy end!

That's terrible! You come from Egypt? I did not know that in Egypt there are no right animal rights, nor that there are so many animals, which so bad is being done. Unfortunately, there are even in countries with proper animal protection laws cruelty to animals. That makes me really sad - and angry. But I am happy that there still are people like you!

Well, think of it this way; one day society in Egypt will look at itself and realize what it has become. It will eventually see the error of it's ways and then it is up to the people of Egypt to choose weather or not they wish to do anything about it.

HUNTING = A way of keeping the population of a species down, so they aren't ALL OVER THE PLACE. And, also, you can use the fur/meat to sell, make things, and have a pretty good meal depending on what it is.

Now, now. Don't be like that. Hunters are not all bad people.
What these people did to this fox is inexcusable, but please do not blame all hunters.

I dislike all hunters and if you have a problem with that than simply don't talk to people with opinions that are much like mine. I think that using an animal for jewelry, rugs or anything that is an object is nonhuman. If you were hunting for food than that would be a different story. Since years ago, people had no other choice. But for accessorizes? That's sickening. Foxes and, any other animal for that matter, were not put on the earth for accessorizes or killing in general. If you hunt than that's your life and your sins, and you can live with the guilt that you are taking an animal's life for selfish reasons. When it comes to food, we at least need the protein. Chicken and fish has protein that we can't get from anything else. But any other meat and killing of animals are wrong. Wrong and that is simply a fact.

I use the entire animal. I eat the entire thing, feed the scraps to my animals, use the bones, fur/hide/feathers for clothing, jewelery, blankets, etc. I also sell these things for money so that I can help pay my bills, I have a couple jobs, but a little extra money never hurt.
I love all animals, and I would never hurt an animal just for the sake of sport, or to cause something pain. I feel bad even for the animals that I kill, but I would rather eat a wild animal then an animal bred in captivity, it is just sick and unnatural.
It's a sad shame that you hate all hunters, we are not all bad people.
I have no problem with people who oppose hunting, I only had a problem with the one girl on here being completely out of line, and telling me that I only kill because I think it's funny. I hate when people assume the worst of people whom they do not know.

it's not an excuse..
why do u hunt?
you don't have a supermarket next to ur house where u can find meat?
A lots of animals already give their lives for fill ur belly and u need to hunt other animals?
the old natives and our ancestors just hunted because they had no choice, not because they found it funny.
👍: 0 ⏩: 5
you know just because you are a hunter doesn't make you a bad person, and it doesn't mean that they found it "fun". If its for personal consumption, most (if not all) of the animal is used, and it is done in the quickest way possible, why is it bad? the meat sold in markets comes from people who only seek profit That means the faster they get the food out the better, which also means they usually dont give a rats ass about how the animals are treated (which usually = cruelty) so think about it for a second. :/

Actually you are mistaken. I was just wondering how long you've been in this world, based off of that i could try to figure out what information has been available to you and if your ignorance was really not your fault. But seeing as you are a grown adult, i would have thought you wouldn't be so quick to generalize people. My bad.
And no, its not the fact that your opinion differs from mine that bothers me, its just that you were putting all hunters in the same "i do this for fun" category.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
me I don't put all the hunters in the same "I do this for fun" and I'm starting to get sick of repeating the same things. If u have read what I wrote maybe u can understand it by yourself. I don't generalize people as quick as u think, in fact I'm really a tolerant person and normally I don't judge the people, for me the freedom of peoples ends where starts the freedom of the others, I do not like hunting and I believe it is in my rights can say it without going through this as an ignorant person as u have labeled me.
Anyway I think it's a conversation who doesn't go nowhere so better to stop it right now, I think I have already stolen too much space to the author of the pic.

It's not like these hunters just go out and kill the poor animal and leave it there to rot; they take it home, where they use the meat and the pelts. It's not like it's going to waste. It's the circle of life, animals die and animals kill. Don't ever lose sight of the fact that we humans are animals. We're just arrogant animals who tend to forget we are animals and creatures of mother nature. In fact, some people use that hunting meat to make a living for themselves, the sell that meat and those pelts in order keep their homes and their family living. Yes, the others mention the poor but you're forgetting the mountain folk (whom I happen to close to) who have to drive miles and miles and miles down a mountain just to reach some form of civilization to get to a supermarket for food, which wastes gas, which wastes both money and the earth's resources, which harms the planet, which harms the plant life, which harms the animals. All the animals. See, you're not getting the bigger picture. Everything is linked to everything else, yes I believe hunting for sport is wrong but others hunt certain reasons. Some times hunters are paid to take out the wildlife in certain areas such as forests and such, because every few years or so the animal population grows dramatically and all the food sources are rapidly depleting and are suddenly non-existent. Soon you find all the animals starving to death which is a crueler and far more painful death than a bullet wound; it takes moments to die from a bullet wound, but days sometimes weeks to die from starvation. I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, I'm just saying that you should watch what you say and to get a little knowledge about what your disputing and declaring as this act of injustice. You know it wouldn't be malicious to say that occasionally hunting is a far better way for an animal to die than other means, like the factors where pigs, chickens, cows, sheep, and other farm creatures are abused from the day they are born to the day they are slaughtered (are you even aware that all the packaged meat in the world comes from one of three companies. Sure there a hundreds of brand name meat companies but those places purchase their meat from the three companies I mentioned before.) There have been millions of attempts to change these things but the money and power that go into these companies makes it near to impossible (or improbable if you're one of those people). Even a few of those brand name companies that purchase that meat have tried to change the way things are but have lost their jobs, their homes, basically everything because of their efforts. That's how much power these companies have. I feel I've gotten a tad off topic but the point is still there, don't be so irrational with your opinions without first understanding what is actually happening out in the world concerning these issues. I'm not telling you these facts to change your opinion, or anyone's opinion, but to help you to understand the other side of hunting and the killing of animals because I felt that the way you thought of the situation was rather....childish and lacking in understanding for lack of a better word. I do not mean to offend or to enrage anyone just, I want you to understand and not be so stubborn; open your mind a little, I suppose. Does that make sense?
I apologize for any and all spelling, grammatical, punctuation, etc mistakes that I have made within this passage. Please forgive me.

Do you even know how slaughterhouse animals are treated?
I'd much rather eat an animal that was killed swiftly, then one that was tortured since birth.
Don't try to make me look like a villain, it's just childish.

Not sure.

I don't understand why you assume that all hunters think it's funny to kill. It's just so narrow minded. 
I don't hunt. I never will. But as long as the hunters are respctful to their kill and don't overhunt, then I personally don't see anything wrong with it. Generalisation = bad. Saying all hunters find it funny to kill is the same as saying all Americans are fat + rude, or everyone that owns a bully breed dog is trying to look macho and participates in dog fights. It's just not true. There is nothing wrong with disliking hunting, but there is no need to condem everyone that hunts. (I work in a wildlife rehab centre and am currently studying the impacts of hunting vs poaching at college)

No, as I said there is nothing wrong with disliking hunting. I do not expect or even want you to change your opinion - I never asked that.
I apologise if I misinterpreted, but from what I could see you were claiming that "As for me, u find it funny and that's all" to someone who was explaining why they don't find it funny. It's fantastic to have an opinion on something, but it sounded like you were making an accusation on one person based on your opinions from the hunters you know.

I don't like hunting , what I have to do ? Change my point of view for make u happy?
Sorry, I will not do it,my personal opinion is based on the fact that all the people I know that hunt take it like an hobby, after surely they eat what they hunt, but in fact it's not really something they need.
And by the way I don't make generalisation (if I say that I can understand people who kill an animal 'cause they need it, I think it's not a generalisation, otherwise I will say that I don't like all the hunters , no matter why they kill an animal and it's not my case).

"you don't have a supermarket next to ur house where u can find meat?"
Oh, so you'd rather them buy meat from a supermarket? Do you know where the supermarket meat comes from? Guess not. Industrial farms, where all of our meat comes from, have horrible conditions and I can promise you that they die in much less humane ways than being hunted or shot. Slitting their throats while they're hanging upside down, boiling chickens alive, clubbing animals to death, having them live in small spaces, crampt together, chickens getting their beaks cut off so they don't hurt eachother... believe me, hunting is a much more respectable way to get your meat.
Yes, a lot of animals already give their lives to "fill our bellies". But why not get full off of meat that you don't have to feel horrible about eating? I'd love to eat meat from a hunt rather than a store, but living where I do it just isn't possible.
And hardly any hunters find it "funny". There are some that find it funny, or the ones who hunt for sport, but don't think all hunters are idiots.

I don't agree with you but I do understand what you are saying. But think about it this way, animals are killed for food and no matter how many people dislike it, and find it horrible, it's not going to stop. So you'd rather, even MORE animals be killed so that you can feel " less guilty"? Isn't that a bit selfish? I understand that you don't want to eat an animal that has been tortured but that animal is already gone. We can't get it back. But we can stop hunters from killing other animals because them killing them, quickly and somewhat painlessly, won't make the other animals come back to life. No matter how many people dislike the facts, animals will forever be tortured and killed for food. I simply don't agree with you because, in your mind, you'd rather double the animals get killed so you can say "I ate an (so and so animal) without feeling guilty! At least, I DON'T FEEL BAD." But what about the animal that you just ate? AND the one that was tortured? You're supporting double the animals be killed, honestly. I respect how you think and all but you're not thinking logically. You're not a good person for supporting hunting.. Almost worst than people who simply eat store-bought food.
